Chapter 91: The Politics of Childbirth

Seeing Deng Fei's resignation, Zhao Wuxian bowed slightly and said: "Sir, why did you say this, I heard that before the death of Meng Xizi, the third secretary of the Lu State, he ordered the second son to serve as Corporal Kong Qiu, and this matter was rumored to be a beautiful talk, and I am willing to follow suit." I also heard Confucius said, threesome, then there must be my teacher, no matter the status of the noble, one day as a teacher, a lifelong teacher, Mr. is good at laws and regulations, enough to teach me. What's more, the six artists and Fu who are in the lower palace are also scholars, please don't shirk it again. ”

From the grasp of knowledge, it can be seen that in the late Spring and Autumn Period, it was already the era of the public clan and the scholars, and Wuxian looked down on some nobles who did not learn and did not know how to do it. I have a good impression of the scholars who will be the backbone of society in the future and support the axial era of Chinese civilization, such as Lao Dan, Kong Qiu, Deng Fei, etc.

Deng Fei couldn't shirk it, so he had to accept it, and couldn't help but glance at Wuxian again.

It was still early to leave the class, so Wuxian sat down with Deng Fei and asked him about some criminal law issues in the Jin Kingdom. As a later generation, he was more concerned about the law. Because from a loose patriarchal family to a well-organized legal state, this is the goal that Zhao Ying is working for, and it is also the only way for Zhao to go in the future.

During the chat, Wu Xian learned that Deng Fei's family, from the far south, was a descendant of Deng Guo with the surname Man. Deng Guo was originally the maternal uncle of the King of Chu, and after being treacherously attacked and destroyed by his nephew, King Wen of Chu, part of the Duke of Deng entered Chu as a scholar, and even had a Sima. The rest went north to the Central Plains, lived in Zheng Guo, and served as a judge, assisting Zichan in casting the criminal book, so he was very proficient in criminal law.

Deng Fei came to the Jin Kingdom a few years ago as a traveler and devoted himself to the Qin family, but instead of being a loyal retainer, he became a staff member of the free body, and his usual duties were the assistant and legal adviser of the concubine doctor.

Speaking of the law, he talked about the first person to make the written law public, Zheng Qing's son, and Deng Fei admired him.

"Zheng Zi's name is Qiao, one of the seven Mu of Zheng Guo, and the former Zi Chuan cast the punishment book, which was published in Xinzheng, so that everyone can watch it and know the reason for the crime, and Fei was still in infancy at that time."

Zhao Wuxian said: "However, I heard that Uncle Jin has criticized Zi's move, and his debate is right and wrong, can Mr. tell me about this matter in detail." ”

Deng Fei naturally knew everything, it turned out that when he learned that Zichan had cast the punishment book, Zichan's friend in the Jin Kingdom, the uncle of the Yangyu clan, wrote a letter to persuade him heartbrokenly, and the letter said this:

At first I had high hopes for you, but now I am completely hopeless. The ancient kings did not enact criminal laws, because they were afraid that the people would fight for it, but they could not prevent crimes. Once the small people know the law, they will no longer be afraid of the superiors, and the spirit of fighting will arise because of this. They will abandon the rites and levy them in the torture book, and every word engraved on it will have to be disputed and understood, and the result will be chaos and abundance, and bribery will go hand in hand.

In the past Xia, there was a chaotic government and made "Yu Punishment", Shang had a chaotic government and made "Tang Punishment", and Zhou had a chaotic government and made "Nine Punishments", after the rise of these three punishments, what is the result of the three generations? Not all of them will come to the end soon. Therefore if you issue the Punishment Book now, even if you succeed for the time being, sooner or later your kingdom will fall into a state that cannot be governed.

In the end, Shu Xiang prophesied a little angrily: I heard that the country will die, and there will be more systems, which is what I am talking about, Zheng Guo will decline under your rule!

After listening to this, Zhao Wuxian shook his head and said: "However, it is impossible to reproduce the rule of the saint pursued by Shu Xiang, the era of etiquette and governance has ended, and Wuxian expects that there will be no hope in the future only by governing the country with criminal laws and laws." Soon after Shu Xiang's death, his family was labeled as a rebellion, and soon fell into decline, but it was the son who governed Zheng effectively, making Zheng a district, but Jin Chu did not dare to underestimate it. ”

However, the reason why Shu Xiang had such an idea was probably because he was in prison by the Fan family during the Luan Ying Rebellion, because his younger brother Sheep's Tongue Tiger was the party of the Luan family, and he almost died in prison. And his other younger brother, Uncle Sheep's Tongue, was also a prison official, who was corrupt and bribed, was attacked and killed, and left a notoriety of "greedy ink". Therefore, because of these two experiences, Shu Xiang has a kind of disgust and distrust of criminal law.

Zhao Wuxian also knew that the politics of the child property was a top-down reform, which not only protected the interests of Zheng Guo's office, but also restricted the privileges of Qi Mu and other nobles. He rectified the land system, redefined the land boundaries of the ministers' residences, organized the people of the country according to the Shiwu, and taxed private land according to the acres of land; As a mound tax, pay military taxes according to the number of land population; the forged penal book, revised and promulgated the written law; Implement the employment system in which the sons of the ministers must also be successful in their studies before they can engage in politics.

What is very rare is that this reformer did not destroy the village school in the face of the incomprehension and slander of the Chinese people, and allowed the Chinese people to openly discuss politics there. You know, they sang "Take my clothes and take my clothes, take my fields and join them." Whoever kills the child, I will be with it"Ah!

Zhao Wuxian asked himself that he couldn't do this, and when he was a villager who opposed his implementation of the Daitian Law, his approach was to use the words of ghosts and gods to coerce public opinion.

Deng Fei said eloquently: "Yes, so there is only one sentence in Zichan's reply to Uncle Xiang's letter. Overseas Chinese are not talented, they can't reach their children and grandchildren, I will save the world! ”

The meaning of this sentence is: My Gongsun Qiao is not a sage, and he cannot do what you say, and he cannot take into account the rule of the Lile kings for generations, and my mission and my decree are to save the current situation! I cannot accept your advice, but I will not forget the grace of your persuasion!

"Wonderful!" Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but exclaim, Zichan's words were too appetizing for him, this is the sympathy between two realists separated by two thousand years.

Vaguely, Zhao Wuxian also felt that what he was doing was actually quite in line with the political views of the child, perhaps, the general direction of his future governance of the territory and family had been found.

But then he smiled dumbly, he is now just the ruler of a township, with only more than 2,000 people under his rule, so he is so ambitious and far-reaching, it is better to learn about childbirth, and think about how to "save the world".

Like Zhao Wuxian's New Deal in Chengxiang, Zichan also slapped opponents in the face with facts.

At the beginning of Zisan's political career, he was cursed by the Chinese people to "die", but a year later, the ballad became "I have children, and children teach me; I have a field, and my children produce it. The son dies in childbirth, who is the heir". And Deng Fei described the situation when Zichan died, saying that no one in Xinzheng City was crying, and even Kong Qiu, who was far away in Lu State, sighed: "Zichan, the love of the ancients." ”

Unconsciously, the bell rang for the opening of the Pan Palace, and Zhao Wuxian suddenly got up, he and Deng Fei had a good conversation, but they forgot the time.

Deng Fei sent the shirtless to the outside, and arched his hand and said: "I can make the gentleman and the teacher, Fei is afraid and ashamed, my knowledge is actually far inferior to my brother Deng Xi in Zheng Guo, but it is a pity that he insists on the punishment of non-childbirth, and he compiles what "Bamboo Punishment" to interfere with the world and fight for the people......

Deng Xi? The person he said, Zhao Wuxian didn't have much impression, and he didn't know if he had left a name in history, but it was a very maverick practice to put aside the law of childbirth and practice the law privately.

After he said goodbye to Deng Fei, he tended to go out, and it was a moment to chat, and Zhao Guangde outside the door was probably in a hurry.

Who knew that when he came out to take a look, he saw the little fat man standing obediently at the door like a boy, the morning sun was rising, and he was so hot that he was sweating, out of trust and respect for Zhao Wuxian, he didn't go in to urge.

This made Wuxian feel slightly surprised, and felt that in addition to letting the little fat man run wild in the way of cooking, in other aspects, this person could still be cultivated.

Learning martial arts in the morning and learning literature in the evening, this is also a tradition in the Pan Palace, so this morning's class is swordsmanship.

Zhao Wuxian changed into a dark swordsman uniform with a short jacket and easy to move, wore the two-foot sword that he had been using since the time of the lower palace, and walked towards the sword room with Zhao Guangde.

The swordsman, the gentleman is also armed, so self-defense. Because of its lightness, brilliance, and quick use, the sword became a fashion for male aristocrats from the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the Jin Kingdom, there was also a rule that "officials were ordered to carry swords", and all nobles and officials must carry swords.

Moreover, the sword is not just a ritual and decoration, not just a sign of status and rank, but also a sharp weapon that can kill. As the most widely used short soldier on the battlefield, the corresponding swordsmanship came into being.

The sword room is located on the side of the peach forest, which is somewhat similar to the neon kendo hall of the later generations, covering a small area, the ground is paved with wooden planks, and there are a few empty places in the middle, which can accommodate more than ten people to practice at the same time. Of course, it was not a saber that was used, but a wooden sword or an unbladed blunt bronze sword.

As soon as Zhao Wuxian walked in, he felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, and the young men around him who were slashing with wooden swords stopped one after another and set their eyes on him, most of them were the children of the doctors of Fan and the Bank of China.

Near the side door, Le Fuli, who shrunk his head and brain, was directly separated from the crowd, frowning at Zhao Wuxian, as if he wanted to remind him of something.

Wuxian was alert, and was about to turn around, but found that there was a person, an acquaintance who had disappeared for a long time, stopped in front of him.

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, and the third is at half past nine in the evening
